It does work with U-Verse, but only as a replacement for wireless networking or direct connection of a computer etc. Your TV and Phone will still have to come from the U-Verse router. There are good instructional videos online showing how to set this up.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I now live where U-verse is not available. However, we use the same set up here in Hawaii as we did in Texas. With At&t u-verse if you have Tv service it has to go through their router. The key is if they have a Box before your router ( Should have if the service is converting Fiber Optic to Cat 6). If this is the case, which I hope for you. You can use the Cat 6 cable out of this Network switch(box) and plug it into a non-controlled port switch.( around $20 for 5 port, only need 2 ports) Then take 2- cat 6 cables from the port switch. Using one for the existing ATT router and the other to the new netgear nighthawk. Use the ATT router only for TV ( disable wifi in router) and use the Nighthawk for your wifi and hard wired. You will then be able to set up a NAS, if you want your own cloud. Just added the netgear 5 port switch but you can find other ones that are cheaper but wanted to give you a reference.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. I have u-verse and it works for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. Just plug it into theirs. But make sure their router has the wifi turned off. It could interfere with the signal.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't see why not as this is just a router. Your modem would be specific to AT&T. I have at least 12 devices connected and it never slows down. That includes 2 roku, the wink, philips hue hub,ecobee3 thermostat, smartphones and tablets as well as a couple laptop's. It never lags or slows down.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you're simply needing to "make more ports" to plug more devices into your (wired!) network, you only need a switch! If it's WiFi devices - (NORMALLY you _should_ be able to get upwards of 225+ devices connected to it. Perhaps someone set your DHCP server to only hand out 5 (internal) IP addresses. (Or however many devices you have/need.) Increase that # on your DHCP server to the # of devices you want on your network. Ask your local Geek-Squad person to show you them. (Switches, that is - IF it IS that you're only looking to add more _wired_ devices That's all you'll need. Of course ask him/her for their best Netgear Gigabit switch - which Netgear started building 'managed" switches too - that's a VERY good thing in "the networking engineer" world to be able to monitor. (For the home, you're likely NOT going to need a "managed" switch, though.) Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it does and can handle five devices
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes I have Uverse and this works great I have their 300/300 service and get very close to that throughout my home. You will want to switch your att router to modem only mode.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
